Teertha Vittala Kshetra Vittala

[Amritha Varshini]

Teertha Vittala Kshetra Vittala – Sant Namdev

तीर्थ विठ्ठल, क्षेत्र विठ्ठल ।
देव विठ्ठल, देवपूजा विठ्ठल ॥१॥

Teertha Vittala Kshetra Vittala
Deva Vittala Devapuja Vittala

Vitthala is a holy body of water, Vitthala is a holy land.
Vithtala is God and Vitthala is Worship.

माता विठ्ठल, पिता विठ्ठल ।
बंधु विठ्ठल, गोत्र विठ्ठल ॥२॥

Maathaa Vittala Pithaa Vittala
Bandhu Vittala Gotra Vittala

Vitthala is my mother and Vitthala is my father.
Vitthala is my friend and Vitthala is my clan.

गुरू विठ्ठल, गुरुदेवता विठ्ठल ।
निधान विठ्ठल, निरंतर विठ्ठल ॥३॥

Guru Vittala Gurudevataa Vittala
Nidhaana Vittala Nirantara Vittala

Vitthala is my Guru, Vittala is worshipped by my Guru
Vitthala is tranquility, Vitthala is everlasting.

नामा म्हणे मज विठ्ठल सापडला ।
म्हणूनी कळिकाळा पाड नाही

Naamaa Mhane Maja Vittala Saapadalaa
Mhanuni Kalikaala Paata Naahi

Namdev says ‘I have found sanctuary in Vitthala’.
‘Even in this Kali yuga, I can come to no harm!’
